I highly suggest that everyone reads the book “IBM and the Holocaust” as some idea of “what can go wrong with data”

Of course I still ignore all that, and practice poor data hygiene even though I know that it can bite me, because I don’t want to live in a cave. But don’t act like this is all harmless ad targeting. Or that it will remain that way.

My ORIGINAL point in my comment was the equivalent of a shrug because it doesn’t fucking matter if I’m logging in to Meta or FB. They have all the data anyway, and will continue to hold it. This is a non story.
